Marie Dressler #300I loved your message to Marie Dressler. I love her movies and wish we had actors & actresses of her character and ability today!!! I enjoy the old movies on TCM with host Robert Osborne so much. I am not too happy with some of the hosts they are having in his absence and worry about his health...Love and prayers for your health...enjoyed your message left on Marie's Memorial.I couldn't be more thrilled than how the election went. I'm certainly with you and many of your admirers. I believe Mr. Trump is doing a good job and he is not even in office yet!!! I think our country may get back on the right track with his help and God's guidance. Health & Happiness always.

~ THANKSGIVING ~Hi Anne, sorry I am a little slow in answering your last entry. I haven't been on the computer as much lately. The weather has been great and I have been doing outdoor funzies rather than indoors. Some Harley time in the 65-70 degree weather and Firearms Deer season is in, also. I saw a lot of hunters during my hikes and I do have a deer license but have been waiting for Rudolph to appear with his bright red nose - my eyes are not what they used to be... The #1 rule when hunting deer is first, you have to see one! It was wonderful news with your mother in law, PTL! I hope she continues with great improvement. I was both delighted and encouraged by our governor's speech - oops, I mean our Vice President's speech - (Mike Pence - goodbye Joe) and he and Donald Trump being Christians and not ashamed of saying so will, hopefully, put Christ back into Christmas this Christmas as Christ is the reason for the season and wishing a Merry Christmas to one and all means so much more than saying, 'happy holiday'... I mean, "happy holiday" could mean the 4th of July or Thanksgiving which is fine but Christmas is Christmas, just saying. With the results of the election I must not be the only one that feels that way and it was amazing that the election went the opposite of what the liberal media polls predicted. It will be a long and difficult job for our newly elected officials to make this country great again and they are in my prayers. God bless America, and our men and women in uniform and the cause of freedom. have a great Thanksgiving Anne, we have a lot to be thankful for - later, alligator - Tom

~~ VETERAN'S DAY ~~Hi Anne - first, I am hoping for all good things for your mother in law and that she isn't in any pain and all went well on the blockage surgery. My grandmother, Gram, had a blockage in her colon and at 98 no surgeon would operate on her saying surgery would be a sure death sentence at her age? That was then, this is now and they have come a long ways since 1982 on medical treatment so keep the faith. She told me that an angel appeared on the end of her bed, sitting there looking at her when she woke up - this was in the hospital and the angel was a male and she asked him what his name was but he didn't reply and she got her cane and reached up and poked him asking him to speak and the angel just smiled and vanished in thin air! She said she was not hallucinating that she was fully awake when this happened. She died the following day. For the record, I believe in guardian angels although I have never actually seen one. Gram believed in them long before she saw one. Secondly, I want to thank all veterans this Veteran's Day, men and women that served both in combat and in peace time. Many women have served in war zones and in combat - I have a female friend that received a Purple Heart for her wounds in Afghanistan and I give high praise to those women, many are moms, that serve our country. I salute all veterans and so does our President Elect Donald Trump which I am very happy about. Our troops will get the support they much need. Anne, take care, later on a freighter, alligator -Tom ~ God bless America and ALL Americans.

~~GOOD & BAD TIMES~~Wow, I stayed up till 3:30 am watching and counting the Electoral votes and what a surprise which goes to prove, you can't trust the media polls. We had three small kids show up for Halloween - 3 total!? We had a large bowl of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Milky-Way candy bars left.... It was the smallest turn out ever? Having car trouble is always so stressful and costly. I have had a starter motor replaced on my Impala, spark plugs, and now I am dealing with an oil leak both on a valve cover and crank case. Bummer, no way can I crawl under the car to replace the gasket- it has to be on a lift... I am checking around at various places and hoping I can avoid taking it to a Chevy dealer as they are just outrageously high. I take the good with the bad but I am not complaining, everyone has car trouble sometime in their life and having good health makes the hard knocks much easier to deal with. Like you, I have a lot to be thankful for. Things could always be worse. I gained five pounds just sniffing the left over candy! Hang in there, Anne, be strong, be of good cheer, catch you later alligator, Tom

~~DONALD TRUMPED HILLARY~~Hi Anne - sorry it took this long to answer. I have been doing a lot of hiking and not spending a lot of time on my PC. Wishing the best for your mother in law, she sounds like quite a wonderful person.
